Cable Structure Design Based On ASCE 19-10 & AASHTO 17th: Project: Client: Design By: Job No.: Date: Review by

This document provides an analysis and design summary for the cable structure of a main bridge span based on ASCE and AASHTO design codes. Key details include a main span of 4500 feet, a maximum cable sag of 450 feet, and a 60 degree angle for the anchor cable. The analysis checks that the sag to span ratio is satisfactory and calculates the parabolic curve of the main cable. It determines the maximum cable tension is less than the allowable tension capacity. Reactions on the tower top are also calculated.

ANALYSIS & DESIGN SUMMARY


Check S/L= 1 / 10.0 < 1/9
> 1 / 12 [Satisfactory]
Parabolic Main Cable y = 4S/L2 x (L - x) = 8.88888888889E-05 x ( 4500 - x ) , control suspender (D - y) to keep parabolic curve.
Main Cable Curve Length = 4617.27 ft, (1407.34 m)

Maximum Main Cable Tension T = [ (0.5 w L)2 + (0.125 w L2/ S )2 ]0.5 = 81787.2 kips, (363789 kN), ASD level.
< 2 A fpu / Wt = 103473.1 kips, (460248 kN) [Satisfactory]
